The Basics

Make sure you know the Word of God. You have to spend time in the Bible to get to know what God says about you. You must spend time with God in prayer to commune with him. Learn to feed your spirit often. Your spirit needs food just like your natural body needs food. If you starve your spirit you will become malnourished and won’t be able to stand the tests of life. We fight with the Word. As in Ephesians 6: 17 it speaks that the sword of the Spirit is the Word of God. The Word of God gives you substance, it sustains you  throughout life. You can never forget the basics, the Word of God and prayer. As in Philippians 4:6  it says don’t worry about anything but pray about everything. In the Bible it also says pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17) It also says this kind comes out only by fasting and praying (Matthew 17:21). Prayer is mentioned many times in the Bible to show it’s importance. It’s not something you can live without. In your prayer time God can really speak. In your prayer time things become clear. In your prayer time you get strengthen. We also know that John 1:1 says the Word is God. When you know the Word, you know God. The only way to get to know someone is to spend time with them. The only way to get to know God is to spend time with Him. God desires a relationship with us but do we desire the same thing? It can be so easy to make excuses throughout life as to why we don’t have time to spend with God. But if we realized that it’s because of Him we’re still breathing and moving we’d get a different revelation about prayer and getting in the Word. Let this thing become personal to you, become intimate with this thing. It’s your life line, it truly is. I pray you all have a hunger and thirst to get into God’s Word more and pray more. I pray the same for myself too, we can all get better. When you understand the benefits of what prayer does and that the most effective way to fight the devil is with the Word, you’d do it all the time. Don’t forget the basics. Stay in the race.
